Drift Boat Trips
Our Vermont Drift Boats will take you on the Lamoille or Winooski Rivers in Vermont, where you will find all three species of wild trout. Test your abilities in swift riffles, runs, and deep pool flats with undercut banks hiding big brown and rainbow trout. A full or half day of fishing, sure to relax and challenge the most experienced fisherman. Or try River Pontoon Boats to head down the river or go onto some of Vermont's beautiful ponds or lakes for a unique fishing experience. These trips are great for either the fly fisherman or spin fisherman.
